We aren't going to be able to go with much wider tires on the stock wheels. Wider wheels with a different offset will have to be used.

Instructive shot. Thanks.

You're welcome! The space between the tire and the trans is about 3/4" (with the wheel turned all the way to the right). The space between the tires and the struts isn't much better, just a little more than 1".

I don't think this is unusual. The front tires on my Shelby Charger will rub the plastic covers on both sides in hard turns with stock wheels and stock sized tires.

Hmm... and it's going to get worse when we start dialing some camber into it...

Looks like 225/45/17 will barely fit or might need just a little spacer. Only 10mm/.36 inch width increase on a side. My new kuhmos will be in next week, then Ill will find out. Yea, camber looks like its going to be a bitch! :evil:

The small perch on coil overs would help with the strut clearance. That is one advantage that you don't often hear about.

With lowering and addition offset will the tires contact the fender lip?

Good luck with your 225/45s. If that size fits it open up a huge range of tire choices.

some time next week i will have a set of konig verdicts on my srt4......ill post some pics as soon as i get them on.....

I have always intended to test fit the 245/45-17s on 17X7 Konigs off my 01 PT.

It would have been easy and cheap way to test the size. Looks like you guys will beat me to it. Don't know when we will get cars in Nevada.

I can't wait to see the 225's I had it up on the rack today and it will be VERY close.

 

[NoisufnoC]

what would happen if you downgraded to a 16inch rim...but at 7inch wide? would the smaller rim not rub?

 

[lifeisdeath]

what offset are the wheels?

 

[BrianRT]

Downgrading to a 16" rim wont help clearance issues at all. Its the tire width that is the problem. Im still confident that the 225 will fit with a minor spacer.

The stock offset is 42 I believe.

:shock:
Now we know why the turing radius sucks [email protected] 225's better fit with a spacer and not sticking out side of the fender flares or I'm going to be pissed.

 

[boostedneonsrt4]

offset is 45

Saw a read SRT-4 on a test drive last night on my way home from work. Not the dealer I ordered mine from. Shouldn't be long now and I can try the 225s.

How come you already list an SRT in your Sig if you don't own one yet?

For real :?:

 

[PB Pod]

Because I ordered January 8 th and have the contract to buy it when it gets here. If listing the SRT before it is deliverd offends anyone in the group I will remove it. Let me know before it is delivered. Should be any day now.

I'm not offended. Maybe a "coming soon" would ward off people like us. Hope it arrives soon! :wink:
